A source told the Daily Mail, \u201cKate and the children met the young actors and the director on the set. There was only one night of filming there so it really was a magical ticket.\u201d Prince Louis even climbed aboard the Hogwarts Express, with an observer noting, \u201cHe seemed to absolutely love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their visit almost overlapped with Prince Andrew\u2019s, which surprised production staff. \u201cStaff working on the set were stunned to see him there,\u201d a source said. Although it was not confirmed which of his grandchildren attended, Andrew is grandfather to Princess Eugenie\u2019s sons, August and Ernest, and Princess Beatrice\u2019s daughters, Sienna and Athena.<\/p>\n<p>The Harry Potter set is located only metres from Royal Lodge, Andrew\u2019s Windsor residence. While one source described his appearance as \u201ca bit strange,\u201d they also noted that it was positive to see the royal children enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew\u2019s visit came just after renewed attention to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein, following the leak of a 2011 email from Sarah Ferguson apologising to Epstein for \u201cpublicly disowning him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Kate recently took Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to the set of HBO\u2019s new Harry&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,7718,156723,7720,1281,156725,156727,447,156722,156726,156724,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-470633","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-harry","12":"tag-harry-potter-set-royals","13":"tag-meghan","14":"tag-meghan-markle","15":"tag-prince-andrew-grandchildren-visit","16":"tag-prince-andrew-news-2025","17":"tag-prince-harry","18":"tag-princess-kate-prince-andrew-run-in","19":"tag-princess-kate-prince-george-charlotte-louis","20":"tag-princess-kate-windsor-filming","21":"tag-royal-families","22":"tag-royal-family","23":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115309294643839757","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
